Propane gas grills are considered to be one of the most popular and commonly used outdoor appliances. These liquid propane gas grills make use of a portable propane bottle that can easily be re-filled or exchanged for continued enjoyment without the hassle of loading more charcoal and stirring up the ashes.
While using a Propane gas grill, and similar other appliances using LPG bottles, one must always remember to use it for an outdoor activity and should not be enjoyed indoors. The best location for grilling is outdoors in a well ventilated area such as a patio, driveway or similar non-combustible surface open to fresh air and away from a building. Propane grills usually need some more accessories and features as compared to other grills, including:
- Side burner
- Warmer
- Cover with built-in light, to check on cooking progress in the dark
- Cover with built-in thermometer
- Replaceable drip pans
- Rotisserie attachment
- Fold-down shelves, to reduce space when not in use
- Onboard storage for propane tank
- Propane tank gas gauge
- Hooks for hanging cooking utensils
- Wheels
- Battery or piezo-electric ignition
Some grills have front-mounted burner controls. These take up less space compared with top-mounted controls, but require awkward bending over to see clearly.
